Chiara Daraio is an Italian-American materials scientist and acoustical engineer. She is a professor of mechanical engineering and applied physics at the California Institute of Technology.[1]

Contributions

Daraio's research contributions include a version of Newton's cradle that can generate "sound bullets"—sound waves focused tightly enough to disrupt matter;[2][3] walls filled with ball bearings that can pass sound in only one direction;[4][5] 3d-printed self-assembling rolling robots;[6] solar panels for space missions made of a shape-memory polymer that unfolds in sunlight;[7] and heat-sensitive artificial skin made out of pectin for both robotic and prosthetic uses.[8]

Education and career

Daraio earned a laurea in mechanical engineering from Marche Polytechnic University in 2001, and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering in 2006 from the University of California, San Diego.[1] Her dissertation, Design of materials: Configurations for enhanced phononic and electronic properties, was jointly supervised by Sungho Jin and Vitali Nesterenko.[9]

She joined the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) faculty in 2006, and has remained there since with a leave from 2013 to 2016 to take a chair of Mechanics and Materials at ETH Zurich. At Caltech, she was initially in the Aeronautics and Applied Physics department, where she was promoted to full professor in 2010; she moved to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Physics in 2016.[1]

Recognition

Daraio won the Felice De Carli Medal of the Italian Metallurgical Society in 2006,[10] and the Richard von Mises Prize of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik in 2008.[11]

In 2018 she won the UC San Diego Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Outstanding Alumna Award, "for outstanding achievements in mechanical metamaterials and materials science".[12]
